Do you have advice for rippling on one side of abdomen after drainless tummy tuck 6 months ago? (Photos)

Asked By:belle744 in Nevada, NV

I have rippling on one side of my abdomen after drainless tummy tuck. I'm 6 months post op. I have rippling on one side of my abdomen after a drainless tt. No lipo. I'm 6 months post op. I noticed this a few weeks post op and thought it would resolve on its own. It hasn't. Considering a scar revision due to minor wound healing issues just above the pubic area. Would a scar revision and taking a little bit more skin help or would I need a complete revision? Any advice is appreciated! My surgeon isn't responsive.
